Johanna Gustafsson Fürst about the seminar: 'What meanings of a place does the images in the media create? Who takes place in social networks on the Internet? Based on the participants' different perspectives the question of new and traditional media's impact on place and identity is highlighted. The starting point is the mediation of of the Stockholm suburb Husby and an art exhibition that revolves around questions of space, representation and performativity. '
During the exhibition period 25 August to 23 September seminars are organized every Tuesday 17–20. Information about the other seminars is available here: http://performingthecommon.se/seminars, for more information contact Johanna Gustafsson Fürst seminarier@performingthecommon.se
